MUZAFFARPUR: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has succeeded in buying more time to complete the investigation into ‘Navruna’ kidnapping case as the Supreme Court on Tuesday extended the deadline for the same till March 10 next year.
It is the eighth time that the apex court has extended the deadline for completing investigation in the case. The previous deadline was November 23 this year. However, CBI sought another extension for completing the investigation in the case through a miscellaneous application filed in the apex court on November 19, which was granted through the order passed by a division bench on Tuesday.
A source said the court passed the order after getting more concrete information related to the case. “The CBI advocate pleaded that they have got more evidences in the case. Even influential police officers are involved in the case. So, they need more time to complete the investigation in the wake of information given by some of the accused,” said the source.
According to police sources, Navruna (14), a Class VII student, had gone missing from her Jawaharlal Road residence under the jurisdiction of Town police station in Muzaffarpur on the intervening night of September 18 and 19 in 2012. Later, some parts of her skeleton were found in a drain near her residence after two months.
